AOC: Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want you to believe that this is who we are as a country. And we are here to say that it is not. We are a country that has fought and defeated the confederacy. That has defeated a history of civil rights violations, of secret police, of fascism.

🚨There it is — Mike Johnson and House Republicans are refusing to even vote on extending ACA tax credits.
They are actively choosing to go into the holiday break, knowing health care premiums are doubling & tripling for millions of Americans in 2026, and doing nothing about it.

The photos were taken by the late Civil Rights photographer Matt Herron, and they depict Parks at the march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965—a five-day-long, 54-mile (87-kilometer) trek that is often credited with galvanizing political momentum for the U.S. Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Over the 29 years since Australia's 1996 National Firearms Agreement and buyback (1996–2024), the US has recorded over 1.16 million gun deaths, while Australia has had around 8,7.00. Gun death rates per 100K people are dramatically lower in Australia (1.3 over the period) than in the US (13.1).

A beautiful pet portrait of Lucy the Whippet by Paul Croes Photography! I love how the tulip is used to add a splash of colour to this more monochromatic pet portrait.

The reason folks are focusing on DHS's refusal to honor Real IDs is that it means that the Trump regime is asserting the right to detain anyone in America, resident or visitor, without probable cause. It's an erasure of habeas corpus for all Americans.

Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status.
So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.
